Keith Ellison Will Boycott the NFL . . . for Respecting the National Anthem

Just
when you think the Democrat Party cannot become anymore extremist, they prove
you wrong.

The
NFL just came to a reasonable compromise to its fan-bleeding National Anthem
controversy: Players and coaches stand respectfully during the National Anthem
or stay in the locker room during it or get fined. I wonder how many players may choose to defy this, fines or
not, and continue to anger the NFL fan base.But it is a good enough agreement that I for one might get
my NFL Sunday Ticket back in 2019.(I cancelled last year because of disrespect for the anthem and resuming
this year is not practical because of my schedule this year.)

But
the likes of Keith Ellison, Deputy Chair of the Democrat National Committee do not like it that the NFL is requiring respect for the National Anthem on the
sidelines.He tweeted:

“Friends who know me, know that I love football,” wrote Ellison. “But I won’t
be watching this NFL season because of the unfair cowardly and idiotic kneeling
ban. #BoycottNFL.”

Again
this is because of the NFL requiring simple respect for the National Anthem. And that is from the Deputy Chair of the
DNC.

Further
commentary on my part might be considered impolite by some, and I am trying to
be more polite these days.I
really am.

But
I will brag that I told you back in September 2016 that disrespect for the
National Anthem would become a big problem for the NFL.If only they listened to me and to the
rest of their fan base back then.
